Excuse me if this has been already discussed or a simialr thread has been created. I just want to propose to find all sorts of bugs/glitches/typos in our favorite comics and maybe send the to Rich one day. I'll start with V's hair in #105: it's like a dark purple/ligh purple chess-board! And well, there are some typos, but I don't remember where they were...
Ok, your turn!
But remember: before posting here check the online version of the comic! Maybe the bug has been corrected and you are unaware of this. Good luck!

If you are going to do this, I think you should link to the strip in question, for easy reference.

In the last panel of #274 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0274.html), the first sentence reads
These threads could be used to fight the Snarl on its own terms. It makes no sense for the deities to conspire to give the Snarl a strategic advantage. Rather, the text should read
These threads could be used to fight the Snarl on their terms.

In #134 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0134.html), the flames in the fireplace don't seem to change shape. As most of the fire is off panel or heavily obscured, this could be a coincidence but it is still highly unlikely. The artist is merely being lazy, of course.

In contrast, the mountain skyline in #149 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0149.html) seems to change every panel. This would normally be written off as changing camera angles but the camera mostly zooms and pans a bit, rather than move position, so there should be commonality. You can tell the background was an afterthought.

Wow can you say nitpicking, just kidding. But in toto I don't belive The Giant messes up to many times. And when he does well, its more or less a glitch in the worlod. After all it couldn't be his fault.

In 413, Roy makes a comment about "Micheal Jackson."

Seeing as how he's made real-life references before, I doubt that the misspelling was intended.

EDIT: If somebody doesn't understand what I'm saying, it is spelled "Michael," not "Micheal."

Ok, here: #389 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0389.html). This one has been mentioned in discussion thread: "may", not "my". (First what Elan says)

The Giant talks about this in No Cure for the Paladin Blues. The reason he's had to change some of the colors (Roy's skin, for example) is because the original colors he picked didn't translate well when printed on glossy paper. Therefore, he's picked better variations of the colors to help with the printed product.

Personally, I wouldn't bother amassing large amounts of "mistakes" just to send them to the Giant. I'm sure he realizes there are some bloopers from time to time, but it just seems kind of annoying to have other people point them out in an "A ha!" fashion.

Just my opinion.
